Will, I don't quite see the CE and CLR designated on the drawing. The CLR is the geometric center (at the cross hairs). Right? Can you describe to me what I should be looking for to distinguish the location of the CE's on the drawing? I also pulled up the original drawing from sailboatdata.com but it is no better quality.
As Will said, the CE is denoted by the cross hairs in that drawing. If it is forward of the center of the keel, you will have lee helm. If it is aft of the keel center, you will have weather helm. As was said, the balance changes with point of sail & heel.
In the case of this particular boat, you can also change the CE/CR balance by adjusting the keel. If you raise it partially, the center line of the keel moves aft & moves you towards having more lee helm. Raising the keel partially will increase keel drag & side slip, so there is a cost to doing this, but if you are out for a fun sail & don't want to have to yank on the tiller so hard all the time, a small keel adjustment can sometimes help you get that. Don't overdo it. Lee helm is dangerous. Keep some weather helm.
On a boat with a fixed keel, you need to adjust the sails to balance the helm. If you look at the hulls of very old square rigged ships, you may notice that the rudder is quite small. It was not really used for steering the boat in the same way that modern rudders do, it was only used for trimming things in a bit. The real steering was done by adjusting the sail plan. If the combination of sails was not chosen correctly, the rudder would not have enough influence to turn the ship. More head sail = more lee helm. More sail area aft of the keel center = more weather helm.
